In the wake of the mass shooting and arson attack this morning at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township, President Donald Trump released a forceful statement positioning the tragedy not simply as a crime, but as part of a creeping, deadly onslaught against Christians in America. In a statement posted on Truth Social, Trump wrote: “I have been briefed on the horrendous shooting that took place at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in Grand Blanc, Michigan. The FBI was immediately on scene, and will be leading the Federal Investigation, and providing full support to State and Local Officials. The suspect is dead, but there is still a lot to learn. This appears to be yet another targeted attack on Christians in the United States of America. The Trump Administration will keep the Public posted, as we always do. In the meantime, PRAY for the victims, and their families. THIS EPIDEMIC OF VIOLENCE IN OUR COUNTRY MUST END, IMMEDIATELY!” https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/09/president-trump-issues-fiery-statement-after-deadly-church/ Congressional Democrats appear hell-bent on shutting down the government to prevent a short-term extension of spending levels originally set by a Democrat president. Democrats’ gambit to force a shutdown would temporarily please a radical base that has caused increasing personal political peril for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). A shutdown seems almost assured. Jeffries told Punchbowl News days before the shutdown that Democrat leaders “have been preparing for a government shutdown showdown for months.” The Office of Management and Budget, led by Director Russ Vought, perhaps the most notorious opponent of the federal bureaucracy, issued a memo days before the funding deadline that said agencies should consider a “reduction in force” for many federal programs if the government closes — meaning thousands of federal workers could be permanently laid off. Many of those shutdown layoffs of bureaucrats, who many Democrats see as their operatives within the federal government, would be permanent. U.S. President Donald Trump released a 20-point peace plan for Gaza on Monday that fulfills all of Israel’s goals, while offering Palestinians a path to statehood, if Hamas frees the hostages, disarms, and leaves power. Trump released the plan ahead of a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House. However, it was not clear that Hamas would agree to the plan, especially disarmament. A Hamas official said Monday that they had not seen the plan, and that while they were opening to releasing the hostages, in theory, they would not disarm, seeing the use of force (i.e. terror) as central to their pupose. ...If both sides agree to this proposal, the war will immediately end. ...Within 72 hours of Israel publicly accepting this agreement, all hostages, alive and deceased, will be returned. He [President Trump] said that if Hamas did not agree, Netanyahu would have the freedom to “do what you have to do.” [See all 20 points at the article.] War Secretary Pete Hegseth declared an end to woke political correctness and gender equity while delivering remarks to top military leaders on Tuesday in Quantico, Virginia. During his speech, he announced that combat troops will return to male standards of fitness and training, and combat units will undergo combat field tests, which they must pass at the male standard scores. Finally, lethality and combat readiness is being prioritized over inclusivity in the military. Hegseth justified the move, stating, “this job is life or death.” “War does not care if you’re a man or a woman, neither does the enemy,” he said. He added that the move is not meant to prevent women from serving in combat jobs, but said that may be the result. “But when it comes to any job that requires physical power to perform in combat, those physical standards must be high and gender neutral,” Hegseth said. “If women can make it, excellent. If not, it is what it is. If that means no women qualify for some combat jobs, so be it. That is not the intent. But it could be the result. So be it.” https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/09/video-pete-hegseth-declares-return-highest-male-standard/ @patrician Thanks. I liked when he said anybody who doesn't like it can leave today. Bob said he's getting ready for war. The roads just got safer in Oklahoma. On Monday, Republican Governor of Oklahoma Kevin Stitt announced 130 illegal immigrant truck divers were arrested in a state wide sting. Stitt announced the Oklahoma Highway Patrol alongside ICE arrested the illegal commercial truck drivers on I-40 in Western Oklahoma. RussiaGate was really ObamaGate. And it was TREASON. The Trump DOJ needs to appoint a Special Prosecutor/Counselor to investigate RussiaGate. This is ‘The Conspiracy of the Century.” It is massive. It’s time to put it in the hands of a power pitbull Special Prosecutor. This criminal conspiracy started while Obama was president. Either you assume Obama is a moron, and/or a helpless puppet, who stood by, unaware his DOJ, FBI, CIA and other intelligence agencies were targeting President Trump; or you understand the truth- Obama ordered it all, approved of it all, and coordinated it all. Obama was (and still is) the head of the snake. This massive conspiracy connects all the dots- from 2016 to today. Obama and his crew of criminal conspirators and communist comrades tried to rig and steal not one, not two, but three presidential elections. And to make it all work, they had to eliminate President Trump. So, they conspired to frame him, indict him, convict him with rigged judges and juries; demonize him with a massive fraudulent sting operation on January 6th; and when all of that failed, they ordered two assassination attempts. The only way to get to the bottom of this “Conspiracy of the Century” is to hire a team of legal pitbull prosectors to go after all the participants- Comey, McCabe, Brennan, Clapper, Hillary, etc- and then threaten them all with life in prison…preferably at Gitmo…and then offer immunity if they finger “the capo di tutti” who gave them the orders- Barack Obama.

Trump also revealed that these discounted drugs will be available for purchase on a federally operated "TrumpRx" direct-to-consumer website. "It's going to have a huge impact on bringing Medicaid costs down, like nothing else. ... Especially, low-income Americans will be helped so greatly," Trump said in the Oval Office Tuesday. "This is a consequential moment for our country," press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a post on X. "Drug prices WILL be lower for everyday Americans, thanks to the negotiating prowess and determination of President Donald J. Trump. Democrats have been wanting to do this for decades. The Trump Administration has delivered." Trump also wrote to over a dozen major pharmaceutical CEOs in July demanding that the manufacturers voluntarily extend the "most-favored-nation" pricing to all medicines provided to Medicaid recipients. Trump gave these companies until Monday to formally respond. "If you refuse to step up, we will deploy every tool in our arsenal to protect American families from continued abusive drug pricing practices," Trump wrote. So far, Eli Lilly pledged to raise prices in Europe in order to lower costs in the United States. Bristol-Myers Squibb similarly plans to charge the same list price for a new schizophrenia treatment in both the United States and United Kingdom. Federal authorities announced today they have completed Operation Twin Shield, the first wave of a new crackdown on immigration fraud in Minnesota. In a press briefing, Director Joseph B. Edlow of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) said the immigration enforcement effort investigated more than 1,000 cases and its findings “should shock all of America.” “Our officers encountered blatant marriage fraud, visa overstays, people claiming to work at businesses that can’t be found, forged documents, abuse of the H1-B visa system, abuse of the F-1 visas, and many other discrepancies,” said Edlow. According to Edlow, authorities found indications of fraud, noncompliance, or public safety concerns in 275 cases. During his remarks, Edlow said immigration fraud damages America’s national security and will be uncovered. The USCIS director also noted that information gleaned from Operation Twin Shields will be used to determine next steps in the fight against immigration fraud. “As we work to undo the neglect of the Biden Administration, we will continue to launch operations like this across the country,” said Edlow. “Operation Twin Shield was a major enforcement operation and we will be bringing many more efforts like this to cities across the country.” Hamas leaders argue that being forced to release all Israeli hostages at once would mean relinquishing their primary bargaining chip. Hamas is signaling that it will reject US President Donald Trump’s newly unveiled Gaza peace plan, with senior figures describing the proposal as one-sided and dismissive of Palestinian concerns. A Hamas official told the BBC that the group believes the 20-point plan “serves Israel’s interests” and “ignores those of the Palestinian people.” He indicated that Hamas would not disarm or surrender its weapons, a central demand of the framework. Within Gaza, some residents expressed reluctant support for the deal simply as a way to end the war. “The American plan has bad clauses, but I support it because it will stop the war and get rid of Hamas,” said one resident. Others warned that rejection would hand Netanyahu and the West a pretext to intensify the conflict. President Donald Trump announced Thursday he would meet with Russ Vought, the Office of Management and Budget director and Project 2025 architect, to discuss which federal agencies may face reductions as the government shutdown continues. President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that he would be meeting with Vought “to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut, and whether or not those cuts will be temporary or permanent.” Trump added, “I can’t believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity. They are not stupid people, so maybe this is their way of wanting to, quietly and quickly, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DJT.” ...Earlier this week, Vought revealed the cancellation of nearly $8 billion in federal green energy projects, targeting initiatives in blue and blue-leaning states such as California, Colorado, Illinois, and New York... Vought has played a central role in reshaping federal operations. In August, Secretary of State and Acting National Security Adviser Marco Rubio appointed him to oversee the closeout of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) following Congress’s approval of a $9 billion rescissions package that eliminated funding for USAID, PBS, and NPR... At the same time, Trump’s administration is overseeing the largest federal workforce reduction in decades. More than 154,000 bureaucrats who accepted buyouts officially left the payroll this week, part of a broader plan expected to reduce the federal workforce by more than 300,000 positions by year’s end. Trump has emphasized that essential services such as the military, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Social Security, Medicare, and veterans’ health care will not be affected, while cuts will focus on programs and agencies Democrats have supported that the administration says are not aligned with its America First agenda. The president has framed the shutdown as a strategic moment for his administration to take “irreversible” steps in cutting programs Democrats favor. He has also warned that Democrats are taking a risk by forcing the government closure, noting that reductions enacted during the funding lapse may become permanent.
